Took nclex today, not good

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi all, I have a very heavy heart now , took my nclex today did not got the poo up, sure I think I failed. Seeing this the first time is not good, I have worked hard toward the whole school year as a single mother while taking care of my three children and going to school. I was not the sharper student in class but I was bright. This is hard now but I am not going to give up at all. I just need advice how to collect myself from now and how long does it take to rechedule for a retake. Thank you.

I've been in the same position you are in. I passed my second time. Take a few days off from studying and get back into it. Once you get your Candidate Performance Report, look into which sections you scored weak in and do practice questions on those sections. Keep doing questions and make sure you understand why you are getting questions incorrect. I used Kaplan and Hurst for my second time. If you need more questions to practice on I suggest buying Kaplan. I think you can only take your test after 45 days. Good luck! Don't give up!

I know how it feels but dont give up!! I just took my exam for the 3rd time yesterday and finally got the good pop up. I used saunders yellow book with the CD for questions and Kaplan 2013-2014 strategies edition

Specializes in LTC, Agency, HHC.

I passed on my second take....I used the yellow Saunders book, also, and Kaplan. Depending on the state you are in, you can retake in 30-45 days.

Remember on your second go round.....ABC's and Maslow's. The amount of SATA you get doesn't really matter. Good luck!
